Let R be a ring and U a left R-module with S=End(RU). The aim of this paper is to characterize when S is coherent. We first show that a left R-module F is TU-flat if and only if HomR(U,F) is a flat left S-module. This removes the unnecessary hypothesis that U is Σ-quasiprojective from Proposition 2.7 of Gomez Pardo and Hernandez [‘Coherence of endomorphism rings’, Arch. Math. (Basel)48(1) (1987), 40–52]. Then it is shown that S is a right coherent ring if and only if all direct products of TU-flat left R-modules are TU-flat if and only if all direct products of copies of RU are TU-flat. Finally, we prove that every left R-module is TU-flat if and only if S is right coherent with wD(S)≤2 and US is FP-injective.
